FANS IN NOT WANTING TO WATCH RUBBISH SHOCKER!
I'm seriously confused by some of the comments on here. I keep seeing talk of booing and abuse of players but I honestly don't hear that when i'm at the game. Yes theres lots of groaning when things go wrong, and you get fans shouting for them to get it forward quicker or clear their lines, but mid game booing and constant heckling? Genuinely not getting it.
The atmosphere is very flat though, and it's obvious why that is. We don't often win and our style of play doesn't really lead to the traditional atmosphere lifters like tough tackles and periods of sustained pressure. There are occasions when the crowd tries to get involved, but then we start going backwards and people lose interest. I remember being at the Emirates in the cup QF in Roberto's first season. It was 1-1 in the second half and after being under the cosh for a bit we got a couple of attacks going. The ball went out for a throw in in the attacking third and 7,000 blues roared the team forward. The manager came out, told Coleman to slow down and we went back into our own half to build slowly from the back. The fans returned to their seats. We don't use the crowd well enough by giving them what they want. Gareth Barry touched on it in an interview yesterday and he's dead right.

I agree. The teams pattern of play (or lack of it) sucks the enthusiasm out of the fans. Goodison is at its best when there is a few tackles flying in, or the team is in the opposition faces going forward, not when we are sat on our own 18 yard line passing it backwards and sideways.

I'd be seriously worried about our fans if they were cheering and clapping curved 30 yard passes along the back four

The reason could be the TV as the booing is much louder on there if they aren't at the game
Home crowd at it again with trying to inspire Kone by groaning about him.

The guy sat next to me in the upper bullpens was having a right moan today. Right from the kick off he was grumbling away the crying sod. Kept jumping up and flapping his arms I everywhere. I had to tell him to pack it in as it was doing my head in. Jeez he must ruin games for whoever sits by him.

I did groan when Osman came on though.

Me too, then he went on to play some really good little passes in dangerous areas the little scamp.
The Osman sub made lots of sense to me, actually. One of the few things Osman is good at now is playing with the ball at his feet in tight areas with lots of defenders around him, which was exactly what we needed with West Brom dropping ten men into the penalty area. It made far more sense than the other two substitutions, and my only problem with it is that it was too late in the match to make much difference. The other two substitutions didn't make much sense to me, though.
I expected pienaar tbh. Was thinking it he'd be the one martinez would go to.
Pienaar would have made sense to come on for Cleverley, but not to play centrally.
